Welcome New ENT to the Specialty Clinic Team

Dr. Matthew Marino, M.D.

Memorial Hospital is pleased to announce the addition of Dr. Matthew Marino, board-certified Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery specialist, to the Specialty Clinic team beginning in August 2026. Dr. Marino joins fellow ENT specialists, Dr. Rebecca Brandsted and Dr. John Park, expanding access to comprehensive ear, nose, and throat care for patients throughout the region.

As Memorial Hospital continues to strengthen specialty services, the addition of Dr. Marino further enhances access to expert care for both adult and pediatric patients of one year of age and older. Together, Drs. Brandsted, Park, and Marino provide a broad range of services designed to diagnose, treat, and manage conditions affecting the ears, nose, throat, head, and neck.

Dr. Marino earned his medical degree from Saint Louis University School of Medicine and completed his residency in Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. He is board certified by the American Board of Otolaryngology and was recognized as a Castle Connolly Top Doctor in 2023, 2024, and 2025 for his commitment to clinical excellence and patient care.

Known for his attentive and thoughtful approach, Dr. Marino believes quality healthcare begins with listening. Patients frequently praise his ability to explain conditions and treatment options in a clear, understandable way, helping them feel comfortable and confident throughout their care journey.

Dr. Marino provides comprehensive ENT care for patients of all ages, including treatment for ear infections, hearing concerns, sinus and allergy conditions, voice and swallowing disorders, sleep-related conditions, and other disorders affecting the ear, nose, and throat. His patient-centered philosophy focuses on developing personalized treatment plans and ensuring patients fully understand their options before making healthcare decisions.

"Having access to specialty care locally is important for our patients and community," said Martha Wingerter, Professional Services Director. "With the addition of Dr. Marino alongside Dr. Brandsted and Dr. Park, we are continuing to invest in high-quality specialty services that allow patients to receive exceptional care closer to home."

Dr. Marino will hold outpatient clinics twice monthly on Thursdays and Fridays and will perform in-office and same-day surgical procedures at Memorial Hospital.
